Temper Temper

Has anyone noticed that it just seems easier to get angry at folks online?

Normally I don't have much of this issue. I get frustrated or impatient maybe, but generally I communicate, solve the problem, or go elsewhere. I find that there isn't necessarily a greater level of separation, but when I need there to be its easy to create it. Generally, not necessary. Today however, my temper flared for a bit and afterwards I was left wondering: why?

Granted, one of my friends had been furious and going nuts about something a few minutes before, and if anything that sort of problem going on with folks I know is likely to create problems and frustrate or bother me. But further, when there were miscommunications... people got snappy, and I did the same. I realized after a bit I was mad about a game, and laughed at myself for it. The fortunate part is that I was laughing at myself with legitimate mirth, but the fact remains. It seemed to have most to do with a fairness issue, as folks were playing a blame-game, but it was ridiculous all the same.

To make it worse, I've been fighting with my phone all night, which was part of why this is so late.

And I just found out that, in fact, none of my messages went through, and THEN it shut itself off.

Don't you love techonology?



I'm not sure how expensive replacing a phone for an existing plan is, but I'm thinking its time I find a cheep alternative/replacement for my old brick.
